BUT NOT THE RIGHT PRICE.. AND THE OTHER.. IS A DIFFERENT KIND OF PURSE SNATCHING.. 37:42 "I don't know how they were able to get 23 purses one time and 11 the other." TAKE A LOOK.. IT'S A CASE.. THAT HAS POLICE IN DISBELIEF. ON TWO DIFFERENT DAYS.. WOMEN WALKED INTO THE T-J MAXX ON SPARTANBURG'S WEST SIDE.. AND STOLE 34 MICHAEL KORS PURSES. THAT'S MORE THAN SIX-THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OF MERCHANDISE. THE CITY'S HAD A BIG PROBLEM WITH SHOPLIFTING FOR A WHILE NOW.. AND IT'S EVEN DEALING WITH CAREER SHOPLIFTERS. 38:17 "the more they are involved in them, what we can do is raise the charge, so second offense third offense where they get more jail time." SPARTANBURG COUNTY.. IS SEEING AN UPTICK, TOO. AND DEPUTIES SAY THESE PICTURES ARE PROOF.. BUT TELL US IT'S A DIFFERENT ANGLE TO THE CRIME, TOO. INVESTIGATORS SAY THIS MAN AND WOMAN ARE SWITCHING PRICE STICKERS AT TARGET STORES IN SPARTANBURG AND GREER.... 16:23 "electronics, various types of items." AND THEN.. TRYING TO GET THE MERCHANDISE FOR THE LOWER PRICE. 15:55 "some folks may not understand the shoplifting statute in the state of South Carolina, but switching price tags on items for sale in a store is also against the law. It's the same as if you were to steal the item from the store and take it out of there, because you're actually trying to defraud the merchant." TARGET ACTUALLY REACHED OUT TO THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE FOR HELP WITH IDENTIFYING THE COUPLE.. BEFORE FILING REPORTS WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT. 16:42 "it's something that we're seeing more and more as we begin to work closer with retail stores." IF YOU RECOGNIZE ANYONE INVOLVED IN EITHER OF THOSE CASES.. CALL CRIMESTOPPERS AT 1-888-CRIME-SC. MIKE MCCORMICK, WYFF NEWS FOUR, LIVE IN SPARTANBURG.
